PREFACE
This document has been prepared to provide a convenient and authoritative historical overview of electoral activities in the Province of British Columbia during the 115 year period from 1871 to 1986. The date contained in this document was gathered from a variety of sources which among others included The British Columbia Gazette, the Journals of the Legislative Assembly and the Statement of Votes (which appeared first in 1928). The Statement of Votes is now continuously published by Elections British Columbia. The Electoral History of British Columbia provides results for all general and by-elections since 1871, based on both official and unofficial sources. Chris P. Fulker with whom the idea was first discussed and who performed much of the earlier research for the document is of the hope that — ‘‘this work will prove most revealing to future researchers and will perhaps spur them on to more detailed work by providing a suitable background and framework.’’ I suspect that this document has the full potential of helping Mr. Fulker realize his hopes. The following people contributed in various ways to the preparation of this document and it is to them that the Electoral History of British Columbia is dedicated: Frederike Verspoor, Chris Fulker, Margaret Hastings, Judi Bennett, Jaime Gill, Linda Stinson, Ian Parker and Chris Roberts.

v Electoral History of British Columbia Supplement 1987–2001
Preface
This supplement to the Electoral History of British Columbia, 1871–1986, has been compiled to meet requests from clients and researchers who enjoyed the benefits of the easy access to an overview of electoral activities in British Columbia in the original volume. The Supple- ment brings that information up to the general election of 2001.
The data in the Supplement, was, like the original volume, gathered from a variety of sources, but focused primarily on the Statement of Votes for the Province, the Journals of the Legislative Assembly and the Statutes of British Columbia. The Supplement lists the results of the general elections, by-elections and other electoral activities, such as recall and referenda initiatives from 1987 to 2001.
We hope the Supplement will be as useful to users as the original volume proved to be. Maedythe Martin undertook the task of compiling the information and the Chief Electoral Officer, Robert Patterson arranged for his staff to vet the information. For all your efforts: my thanks.
Joan A. Barton Director, Legislative Library
March 2002 INTRODUCTION
This volume is a supplement to the Electoral History of British Columbia, 1871 – 1986, continuing the historical record until the end of 2001. It begins with by-elections that followed the 1986 General Election and concludes with the 2001 General Election and legislative changes up to the end of 2001. A comparison of the two volumes is instructive. There are more women Members in the last 15 years than in the previous 115 and even a casual reading of the list of elected candidates shows how the growing diversity of the Province has become part of its political life. The dominance of Scottish surnames found in early provincial elections has evolved into a list of names reflecting the present population of the Province. British Columbia has a long history of independent and varied political views and this continued in the period covered by this volume: candidates representing no less than 22 political parties were nominated in the 2001 General Election. Legislative change has led to the inclusion of three new sections not found in the Electoral History of British Columbia, 1981 – 1986. These list Initiative Petitions and Recall Petitions issued under the Recall and Initiative Act and regulations issued under the revised Election Act. ELECTION RESULTS 1987–2001 PART ONE

INITIATIVE PETITIONS
The Recall and Initiative Act (RSBC 1996, c. 398) permits voters in British Columbia to propose new laws or initiate changes to existing laws.
Any registered voter can apply to have a petition issued by the Chief Electoral Officer. If more than 10% of the registered voters in each of the electoral districts, who were registered to vote on the date the petition was issued, sign an initiative petition within the 90-day canvassing period, the Chief Electoral Officer sends a copy of the verified petition and draft Bill to the Select Standing Committee on Legislative Initiatives.
The Select Standing Committee must meet within 30 days of receipt of the petition and draft Bill. From their first meeting, the Committee has 90 days to consider the legislative proposal and either table a report recommending introduction of the draft Bill, or refer the initiative to the Chief Electoral Officer for an initiative vote.
The Recall and Initiative Act was brought into force on 24 February 1995.

RECALL PETITIONS
The Recall and Initiative Act (RSBC 1996, c. 398) allows voters in British Columbia to remove a Member of the Legislative Assembly between elections.
Any individual can apply to the Chief Electoral Officer for a Petition for the recall of the Member for the electoral district in which the applicant is registered to vote. A Member cannot be recalled during the first 18 months after election.
If the application for a Petition is complete and meets the requirements of the Act, a petition is issued and the proponent has 60 days to collect signatures from 40% of the voters who were registered to vote in the Member’s electoral district at the last election and who are currently registered to vote in British Columbia.
If the petition is successful, the Member ceases to hold office and a By-Election must be called within 90 days.
British Columbia is the only jurisdiction in Canada with recall legislation. The Recall and Initiative Act was brought into force on February 24, 1995.

Royal Commission on Electoral Boundaries
Appointed: April 9, 1987 (Order-In-Council 690) under the Inquiry Act, Part II.
Commissioner: Judge Thomas Kemp Fisher sitting as sole Commissioner.

The Preliminary Report of Proposed Boundaries for British Columbia Electoral Districts was submitted on 24 May 1988. Following further public consultation, a Final Report was submitted in December, 1988 which recommended 75 single-member electoral districts with no more than a 25% variation from strict electoral equality.
These recommendations were brought into effect 19 September 1991 with the dissolution of the 34th Legislative Assembly.

Chair, Judge Josiah Wood, Q.C., Commissioner Rev. Katherine Hough and Commissioner Robert Patterson.
The Commission reported to the Legislature 3 December 1998 with amendments submitted 3 June 1999 after a period of public consultation. It recommended an increase from 75 to 79 electoral districts to compensate for population growth in the Lower Mainland. Several other districts were realigned.
These recommendations were implemented in a new Electoral Districts Act (SBC 1999 c. 31) which received Royal Assent on 15 July 1999 with the new electoral districts coming into effect 18 April 2001 with the dissolution of the 36th Parliament.
